2009- International Year of Astronomy

Astronomy is indeed one of the oldest sciences. And even in the age of the Hubble telescope, visual astronomy surely helps a lot in discovering the secrets of this universe.

2009 is declared as the International Year of Asrtonomy. So whenever you get a chance, head out to a dark spot and enjoy the sights of the night sky. Check out your local astronomy clubs. Amature skywatchers are one of the most freindly people you would come across!
